An obstetrician is a medical doctor who specialises in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. They are trained to manage all aspects of a woman's health during pregnancy — from the first antenatal visit through to delivery and recovery.
Most obstetricians in India are also gynaecologists — known as OB-GYNs — meaning they provide complete women's health care both inside and outside of pregnancy. This is true of Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy, who manages the full continuum of women's health at Mother Hospitals.
Obstetricians handle normal (low-risk) pregnancies as well as complex, high-risk pregnancies where specialised expertise is essential. If you have a pre-existing condition, a complicated obstetric history, or are carrying twins or an IVF pregnancy, an experienced obstetrician like Dr. Prashanthi Reddy is especially important to have by your side.
As soon as you confirm a positive pregnancy test — ideally before 10 weeks. Early booking allows for accurate dating, first-trimester screening, folic acid guidance, and early identification of any complications before they develop.
A gynaecologist treats women's reproductive health outside pregnancy — PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, menstrual disorders. An obstetrician manages pregnancy, labour, and delivery. An OB-GYN (like Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy) is qualified and experienced in both — giving you seamless, continuous care from pre-conception planning through to your baby's delivery and beyond.
Previous pregnancy reports or obstetric history (if any), blood test results, your last menstrual period (LMP) date, a list of any regular medications, and your husband's/partner's sperm analysis (if fertility-related consultation). A positive urine pregnancy test result is sufficient to begin your care.

Not all pregnancies are straightforward — and that is where Dr. Prashanthi's subspecialty expertise makes all the difference
Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy has particular expertise in high-risk obstetrics — the management of pregnancies where mother, baby, or both face an elevated risk of complications. This expertise has been honed over 19+ years of managing complex cases at Mother Hospitals and Prashanthi Hospital.
Her dual qualification in gynaecology, obstetrics, and assisted reproductive technology means she also understands the unique demands of IVF pregnancies — which carry a higher statistical risk of preterm birth, multiple gestation, and gestational hypertension compared to natural conceptions.
IVF-conceived pregnancies often require closer monitoring than naturally conceived pregnancies. Dr. Prashanthi provides specialised IVF pregnancy protocols from 6 weeks to delivery, transitioning care smoothly from the fertility phase to the obstetric phase.
Higher risk of preterm labour, growth discordance, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). Close scan monitoring every 2–3 weeks from 16 weeks onwards, with a detailed birth plan.
Increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, gestational hypertension, and caesarean. Early first-trimester screening, NIPT if indicated, and enhanced monitoring throughout.
Blood pressure monitoring, protein in urine testing, kidney and liver function review, low-dose aspirin from 12 weeks for at-risk patients. Clear escalation plan in case of deterioration.
Eligible women who wish to attempt vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) receive a detailed risk assessment and individualised counselling to make an informed, empowered decision.
Conveniently located with excellent access from across East Hyderabad
An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy, labour, and delivery. They provide antenatal care (monitoring and tests throughout pregnancy), manage pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, oversee labour and delivery (both normal and caesarean), and provide postnatal care after birth. An obstetrician-gynaecologist (OB-GYN) like Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy also manages women's health concerns outside pregnancy.
Ideally before 10 weeks of pregnancy — as soon as you confirm a positive test. Early booking allows accurate dating of the pregnancy, first-trimester risk screening (NT scan, NIPT if needed, blood tests), folic acid and supplement guidance, and early detection of ectopic pregnancy or other early complications. At Mother Hospitals, first-trimester appointments are available from 6 weeks.
Yes, wholeheartedly. Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy believes in supporting normal vaginal delivery for all women who are eligible and who wish to attempt it. She uses electronic fetal monitoring throughout active labour, offers pain relief options (including epidural analgesia), and practises active management of the third stage to reduce complications. A caesarean section is performed only when medically indicated — never by default or convenience.
A high-risk pregnancy is one where the mother or baby has an elevated risk of complications before, during, or after delivery. Common causes include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, twin pregnancy, advanced maternal age (35+), IVF conception, thyroid disorders, and a history of previous caesarean or recurrent miscarriage. At Mother Hospitals, high-risk pregnancies are managed with more frequent visits, specialist scans, Doppler studies, and a personalised birth plan finalised weeks before your due date.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is blood sugar that rises above normal during pregnancy, usually diagnosed via the oral glucose challenge test or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24–28 weeks. At Mother Hospitals, GDM is managed with a personalised diet plan, regular blood glucose monitoring, exercise guidance, and medication (oral tablets or insulin) where diet control is insufficient. Serial growth scans track the baby's weight. Most women with well-managed GDM deliver healthy babies at or near term.
A normal delivery (vaginal birth) is the natural process where the baby passes through the birth canal. It typically involves a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and earlier breastfeeding initiation. A C-section (lower segment caesarean section, or LSCS) is a surgical delivery through an abdominal incision, used when vaginal delivery would be unsafe — such as in placenta praevia, fetal distress, abnormal baby position, or severe preeclampsia. Dr. Prashanthi Reddy discusses both options transparently as part of birth planning well in advance of delivery.
Yes. Antenatal education at Mother Hospitals covers breathing and relaxation techniques for labour, birth plan discussion, breastfeeding preparation and latching guidance, postpartum recovery, and newborn care basics. These sessions help both mothers and their partners feel informed, prepared, and confident as delivery approaches.
Postpartum care at Mother Hospitals includes monitoring of the mother's physical recovery, wound inspection (C-section incision or perineal repair), breastfeeding support and lactation counselling, postpartum blood tests (haemoglobin, thyroid), and screening for postpartum depression or baby blues. Follow-up visits are scheduled at 1 week and 6 weeks after delivery.
Yes. Mother Hospitals has extensive experience with twin and multiple pregnancies and IVF-conceived pregnancies. Dr. Prashanthi Reddy has personally managed hundreds of IVF pregnancy cases, providing close monitoring from 6 weeks of gestation through to delivery. Twin pregnancies receive specialised scan surveillance and a tailored birth plan, with early discussion about the mode of delivery depending on chorionicity and fetal presentations.
